Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

You're right - that's a hell of a hotrod right there, but I'd be willing to bet he's got more than $3,000 in that 318. Either way, it's certainly a badass Mopar!
well, it may be over 3k, but somebody a few pages back said "anyone know of a 11 second 318 street car...??" with sarcasm as if to say "it's what I thought". But all that aside, eddy heads, cam, intake and carb.... that is all within budget, especially if a guy went with Promaxx heads which are cheaper and maybe better ! Let's say we didn't over bore like perhaps the Duster above (don't know if he did), and lets say we only got 12.35. Are you beating that time buying and building a 340 at fair market value on 3k ??? Ahhhhh.... kind of my point.
